Maybe where you are! Weather sucked all the way through pa till we crossed over into md. Cold and some light rain the whole way. Wv and va has great weather. We are in Harrisburg va for the night. Crossed over from wv on the 33 through the GW national forrest up over the mountains, what a ride! I will try to down load video when we get home. Really put the old girl through her paces today. . . .and the trike did pretty well also. :whistling: we did just under 500 miles and 12 hours today. Tomarrow we are going to jump on the skyline drive to the brp south. Thats it for tonight.

We are in Wytheville VA. for the night. Started out At 7am from Harrisonburg VA. Not Harrisburg as I said last night. Robin keeps reminding me I GOT IT WRONG! Rode to Waynesboro VA. picked up the BRP at the north end and rode it to Roanoke VA. We had great weather, the road was in pretty good shape for most of the ride, some ruff spots, but all in all a nice ride. With stops for sightseeing and lunch, it took us 5 hours to ride 115 miles. Let me tell you, you get one heck of a work out riding the twisty's on a trike. we decided to get off the BRP and take the 81 to Wytheville to see if we can hook up with The Tooch and friend's who is coming in from Canada to ride the Dragon this week. Tomorrow we head over to Maggie Valley where we have a room reserved for 3 days. We will ride the lower section of the BRP on the way back north. Oh, all most forgot, someone forgot to charge the battery for the camera and it wasn't me.:bang head: Still got some video with the gopro.

The best part of the BRP is from Asheville to Cherokee.

That is where it is constant vistas,,,, without all those trees in the way.

 

Might enjoy a lunch at the Pisgah Inn, about 15 miles below Asheville if the timing works.

If not, get a rich desert and coffee and enjoy the view.

Yep The Pisgah Inn is a great place to have lunch or a snack, the Biltmore is also something to see while you are in the area. Chimney Rock is pretty cool too! Hook up with Rooster he will show you the sites.

"The Tooch" and his Canadian friend's showed up here in Wytheville about 6pm. Had a chance to talk a while. They will be heading to the Dragon from the west side on Tuesday, we are riding it from the east side. Hope to see them on the road.

RockinRobin & Steamer surprised me as I was just getting off my bike in the Motel parking lot. I was hot and tired after a long day in the saddle and I was not really with it. I have to apologize for not being a little more quick to recognize who they were. It was great to meet them and see their trike.

 

I had been trying to decide if I was going to the WNY rally, RockinRobin may have talked me into it.

 

I'll try to get photo's tomorrow to post. This is such a great site when members go out of there way to track you down.

pulled into Deals Gap this morning and who do we find there? Yep, The Tooch an his group were there. I think we seen them again on the Cherohala skyway. He was going in the opposite direction. also seen two RSV's riding together on the skyway, only got a quick look as they went by. We also rode the Nantahala Gorge by mistake, made a wrong turn on the way back from the Dragon. The road here will wear you out, I don't think there is a straight road anywhere in the part of NC. need to figure out what we are doing tomorrow.

Yep that was me and my peeps! I waved like crazy when I saw you going by the other way and couldn't believe we would cross paths 3 times doing the opposite routes but coming at it from different directions. What are the odds?

Got to buy a lottery ticket when I get back home!:fingers-crossed-emo

 

You guys have a great and safe trip the rest of the way. Hope to see you in August.:cool10:

 

And we have had a blast so far on our trip heading out to Nashville tomorrow.

 

Get those pictures you took posted!!!:photographing:

Well now the journey must come to an end. Starting the trip home. Got caught in a thunderstorm in Tenn and now we are sitting in a hotel till tomorrow.

 

The first storm we waited out in a car wash stall. we were lucky to be riding into a small town just as it was about to hit. then a little later on, we were running north on the 81 with the radio on and they posted a storm warning for the 81 corridor north of the tn/va line so we pulled off at the next exit and got us a room for the night.
